If you work in retail, what are some tips you have for getting hired?

[mindbodysoul]

Do you realize how precious your are for sharing this video. Someone out there will appreciate you sharing this information. I pray he/she find it with all their questions answered to move forward.

[kevjao]

its very obvious that you were hired. You are a very well spoken person. I would hire you immediately.

I use to be a bartender at TGI Friday’s, and walked in an LV and applied, less then 4 days I was offered a job as Service Specialist at 21. Ironically, I have never been a fan of LV, but the experience opens more doors.

I worked at Michael Kors as a part time sales associate and I do believe that formerly working in both fashion retail and high end food service (as a server/food runner) helped convince the manager I was capable working for the store.

My daughter will be starting her position at LV as a Client Advisor remotely later in the month. Her interview process was about 2 weeks. It took about two months after applying for them to reach out though. She had about a year of experience working as a stylist at Windsor Stores. The interview process for her was pretty easy.

I’ve never worked retail but I’ve found that looking like you fit into the culture and sounding pleasant and confident in the skills you are bringing to the company, have served me well. Also, well placed stories of appropriate experience and prepared questions for your interviewer.

I love how humble you are Cindy and how you want to help. Great video! 😍

[ethanb.]

Omg this is just the video that I’ve needed to see! Perfect timing.

I can definitely relate to this video! I applied to LV in October 2019, it was my first ever luxury brand application! I got called and did the interview virtually! I’ve been working in retail for 5 years, so I think that was what got me the interview! Unfortunately it didn’t go well and I’m still sad if I think about it, from then on I haven’t found any vacancies at my local boutique! I hope I will get another shot! 💪🏻

I am obsessed with these new videos you have been doing! I agree that you don't need luxury retail experience, just customer service experience that you can use to tailor your resumé and talk about in your interview. Great tips, Cindy!

I had 2 small ring agendas that had clients phone numbers in them. The first one had my seasonal heavy spenders which they would spend over $50, 000 a few times a year and then the other had the $5, 000 every few months. That’s how I sold millions of dollars before social media.

Hi Cindy! I’ve recently been hired at LV!! So excited! I just wanted to know if you had any tips for a new CA about how to learn about allll the products, there’s so many! If you have a video about this already I’d love to know the title! Thanks so much ❤️❤️

[mauricechungmusic]

I just randomly came across this video and I just wanted to say thank you very much. I use to work for my family owned restaurant in the kitchen and front of house for many years but I never included this in my CV because I thought it wasn't valuable experience. Thank you for helping me realise that it was actually valuable. SUBSCRIBED!!!

Thanks for another great video! Hiring tip: When asked a question, honesty is always the best policy!

[rachaelcrouch]

I really needed to see this video! I am 19 and I just applied to work at the Louis Vuitton near my college campus. I have 3 years of retail/customer service experience but none in luxury unfortunately.

2010 I worked at Holiday Inn as a server and used to shop @ Dadeland MALL Miami Armani Exchange store and the store manager offered me a job since I was dressed good and would hold conversations with her . Fast forward 11 years . I worked for John Lobb a well known Shoe maker under the Hermes brand . I love retail and it open so many doors .

[lizherrling]

I'm absolutely loving your series on everything louis vuitton. I have been finding them so interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us xo

[MichaelMorgon]

INCREDIBLE VIDEO!! Although this is catered to your specific experience at Louis Vuitton, there are so many gems in this video that can be applied in securing roles within other luxury fashion houses. I love that you touched on the topic of having a social presence, as this is something that has significantly contributed to my own personal success with my current retailer. You just gained a new subscriber, and I'm excited to now binge watch ALL your other videos haha. ❤️
